bohemian mushrooms

Bohemian Mushrooms make a stylish side dish served over soft, fresh greens or you can mound on top of toast for a light lunch. This recipe, like “Bohemian Rhapsody” is a quirky classic, but possibly not what Queen had in mind. It’s a vegan riff on paprikash. Easy, yet opulent, this dish an homage to…

Pappa Al Pomodoro: A New Life for Old Bread | Conscious Cookery Day 6

April 10, 2020 by Ellen Kanner Leave a Comment
